When the poors see their standard of living decline (exporting jobs, expensive real estate, shitty schools, ineffective government) all while the rich get richer, yeah, the basic social contract between the classes evaporates.

You may trust your neighbor, but that has zero bearing on society at large. Society only works if the different classes trust each other not to screw each other out of existence.

We're seeing this in all the rich countries now- a generation of youngsters are realizing that a middle class existence may not exist for them. Even in Europe, which is more egalitarian, things aren't looking as rosy as they used to be. And of course in poorer countries with high birth rates, we already see turmoil as young angry men realize they are destined for a life of poverty while their government enriches itself.

EDIT: I think the guy who started Huawei said something to the effect of when you are a millionaire, you only care about yourself, but when you are a billionaire, you are all the sudden responsible for a lot of people. I wish that attitude permeated our business schools and boardrooms. The amount of people from top business schools who parrot "Always do the right thing" and then proceed to sell their own grandmother down the street blows my mind.
Pesticides. If they had been used to control the environment of small areas it would have been largely fine.

Using pesticides to control the environment of large swathes of land was bound to cause all sorts of problems, and it did, well beyond the areas they are used on.
This is a kind of thing that needs a lot of direct coaching to achieve...

There are two major rowing postures you'll find people tend to use, hips rotated forward and hips back (spine slightly arched forward/convex). Neither is really wrong but for high resistance you need to be in the hips forward position (back slightly concave) as is the technique for weight lifting in the seated row. IME most people don't actually comprehend which position they're in but using the wrong one can be catastrophic. You typically have to spend a few hours with someone ensuring they stay in the correct orientation before they really get it.
It occurs to me you could switch the curation and trend gathering steps to minimize the amount of work on your end.
Instead of going "twitter trend -> filter out the bad ones with in-house experts" you could go "follow experts -> find out what trends among them". That's my usual workflow when using twitter.
As far as "now playing",what they say the software does may be quite clever in privacy preserving ways.

But once you have given them access to your microphone, you have to trust that their software does what they say it does, without mistakes or bugs (whether in design or implementation) or accidental security vulnerabilities (possibly maliciously introduced by the NSA or who knows).

If you do not give them access to your microphone (assuming the OS access controls are themselves working; but that's a much smaller attack area), you do not need to understand trust anything.

Not necessarily. If you have indexing structures for data types that do not have a total order, only a partial order, you can store and do an indexed range search on data types that do have a total order. The primary implication is that the output of the range search will not reflect the total order in the way it would for a traditional B+Tree.

On the other hand, if you are in a situation where no holds bared screaming to get attention is the norm then it may be good to share information quickly and transparently.
I think VR could use non-fresnel lenses and better ways to adapt your vision in the headset, ironically the DK1&2 had lenscups which now are found in zero headsets.

I keep my old glasses that are smaller to be able to fit them in my vive, but that makes development inconcievable: Remove terminal/monitor glasses and put on old glasses and then the headset every time I need to test something in VR. Nope I'm not doing that.

Sounds overly-simplistic but the solution is to build trust again.

Unfortunately, the incentives that rule our society are pushing us away from this. We need to align incentives properly if we're going to have any hope of building trust again. ex:

1. The internet, as a technology, is amazing but functions as a possible bullhorn for everyone, without filter. It does not reward the best possible or most positive idea, only the one that grabs the most attention.

2. Shock and outrage drive the clicks/views/attention and everyone gets paid on these metrics.

3. Social media companies thrive on and optimize for attention metrics. The longer you use them, at the expense of things like participating in your community and building relationships, the more "successful" they are and the more $$$ they get

4. Society has moved towards more specialized play and communities. We participate in fewer and fewer activities where we just randomly encounter strangers.

5. Our current election system rewards divisiveness because it drives turnout. The candidate that can do the best job doesn't win-the candidate that can get the most votes does.

Possibly unpopular view: Encouraging religious participation would go a long way to help. Whether you believe or do not, religion helps align society away from purely individualistic pursuits and more towards a "corporate good".
It almost goes both ways. Yes, being on an embedded device with no Internet access reduces your external attack surface. But it also limits your ability to use lots of newer language features designed to improve safety, because those features often cost CPU cycles or memory.

My (completely uninformed) guess is that most of any net benefit from being on an embedded system comes from the simple fact that "embedded" implies "constrained", which implies "less code," which, in turn, implies "fewer opportunities to create bugs in the first place."
I think it's more about multipolar vs unipolar.

The time period you describe includes multiple massive european wars between nation states who were incentivized to improve industrialization, logistics and yes technology.

China's periodic bloody uprisings don't create the same incentive, they basically didn't have foreign policy until it came knocking.
I think that's a fair point. In the case of a risk tolerance mismatch, you can work out shared criteria, scoped to the initial disagreement, for how to collaborate.

I'd also suggest that one of the reasons we are encouraged to seek diversity is because we benefit from having people around us who wouldn't make the same decisions we would make in every situation.

If I am reading between the lines correctly, it sounds like predictability is what you expect shared values to provide. I think a shared vision is more important than shared values in this case. You can still predict that with which you disagree, if you communicate mutual expectations for how to scope disagreement within collaboration.

Most internal combustion (that is, non-turboprop or turbojet) aircraft use 100LL (100 octane low-lead) fuel. Here, up to 0.56g/L of lead content is used as an octane booster/anti-knocking agent.

Many attempts have been made to remove lead from Avgas but it's fairly difficult since the substitute needs to work with the vast majority of current engines and it needs to be easy to produce and distribute in large quantities around the country. Given the much smaller demand for 100LL (primarily used in general aviation) compared to Jet-A used for turbojet aircraft there hasn't been a big push.
I'm a former rower as well, I disagree that sitting on a rower is dangerous for getting back injury. Considering that pretty much every gym I know just puts them in some corner without anyone around who knows how to row, I believe this is not an issue.

I know of no one who has injured themselves rowing (on a machine or outside).
Excellent writeup and it shows that Stack Overflow's account management came a long way.

Still there is room for improvement. What confused me a lot recently was, that the reset link sent to a certain email is not necessarily for the login associated with that email.

I tried to to login at Stack Overflow after a long time. Entered my current mail and pw. Did not work, clicked pw recovery, received mail, reset pw, got logged in. So far so good.

Logged out, couldn't log in again. After a few password resets I realized that, while the mail was sent to my current address, the reset link actually was for the pw of a login associated with an old email.

At least for me that was not clear from the recovery email.
Here is the full text with only email redacted:

> Account Recovery - Stack Overflow

> We received an account recovery request on Stack Overflow for new@example.com.

> If you initiated this request, reset your password here.

> You can use any of the following credentials to log in to your account:

> Email and Password (old@example.com)

> Email and Password (new@example.com)

> Once logged in, you can review existing credentials and add new ones. Simply visit your profile, click on Edit Profile & Settings and My Logins.

To be clear, "reset your password here." is a link and it changes the pw only for old@example.com.
Another one?

Great question. Like many people in the thread have already mentioned the C2 is a great, solid product. Where we feel we are different is the focus on high intensity interval training (HIIT)- our content (fully animated video games, races against olympians or the Aviron community and guided strength programs) works along with the resistance of the machine to provide a solid option for at home HIIT. If you're looking for visuals, competition, and variety Aviron can be a good fit.
> I really wish I saw what everyone else sees in TypeScript

> It's surprisingly common for me to wrrite code that compiles but crashes at runtime

Well, is it also common for you to allow `any` in your code?

TypeScript is strongest when it can type-check your entire code. If your API endpoints return data that doesn't match your type (or at any other external data load point), TypeScript clearly can't help with that. I'm actually quite sure that if you have this kind of behavior in TypeScript, your other JS-targeting languages would fail too; you have just mis-typed something.

> Other, better

Yes, you're not biased

> JS-targeting languages manage to allow me to retain type-level features at runtime

What does this mean? They compile to put a magic key `_type` on an object?

> while also outputting leaner, faster, and safer code

I highly dispute your claims. You're building JS still, it's not going to be magically better - this just means you write bad TS. Show me some numbers or some code to make this claim.

> it feels like a huge push for the right reasons and in the worst possible direction

Given that you started your complaint with "no one documents their types", I am not so inclined to listen to your opinion. Types are the documentation. Interface names, key names, types, full autocorrect interacting with any objects, generic type support, reasonably smart type solver / caster, great error messages; these are all things TypeScript offers for learning a thin extension of JS.

> I'm not even going to touch how visually noisy and distracting I find the C#-style type syntax to be

Why not? I would love to hear more ridiculous complaints which only make sense thru your personal lens and have no justification or empirical evidence behind them

I agree with the sentiment but based on the text of the ruling, I can't agree with the ruling itself [0]. Missing from your summary is:

- "The applicant, Violeta-Sibianca Lăcătuş, is a Romanian national who was born in 1992 and lives in Bistrita-Nasaud (Romania)."

- "In 2011 Ms Lăcătuş, who was unable to find work, began asking for charity in Geneva."

Why was somebody who "lives in" Romania begging in Geneva? Would she not have received social benefits in Romania? This looks like a perverse kind of tourism. Refugees and asylum seekers I can understand but Romania isn't a warzone or dictatorship, it's an EU member state.

And I think "decriminalizes begging" is a bit hyperbolic. The court did set some precedent but they were also clear that a critical factor in the ruling was that this woman was in a situation where she genuinely needed to beg in order to survive.

The homeless I talked with in Boulder romanticize camping forever along the creeks and being free from society, while trying to leach off of public services.

> Do you know why they prefer their lifestyle?

Drug addiction, mental health, and in some cases lack of family support.

> that drug addiction is a lifestyle choice

Drug addiction is a choice. Based on my very limited personal experiences, you gotta commit to making a change (see above videos). Many addicts just aren't ready to leave their vices for a better life. No amount of rehab will help someone if they aren't ready to commit to a change.

> society failed them.

Sorry if this sounds conservative, but trying to blame other people for your problems doesn't really get you any where. Society throws problems at everyone, some more than others. Laying around complaining or rejecting it doesn't improve anyone's situation.

People need to apply critical thinking skills and tackle their own issues (hence the need for an addict needing to commit to the idea of solving the problem of their addiction).

Ex-homeless/addicts getting together to correct "society failed" them problems via AA meetings is an excellent example of people that apply critical thinking skills and try to help.
I hope that to current Google employees "Don't be evil" does not entail damaging traditions of criticism, either inside or outside the company.

I think David Deutsch argued somewhere that damaging traditions of criticism is the thing most deserving of the word "evil" that he could think of (because all problems are caused by lack of knowledge, and all knowledge is created by conjecture and criticism, if you go along with Popper's epistemology).

There are two aspects to it: generation and transmission.

The peak power draw will lie somewhere between your estimate (11.5kW/vehicle) and the typical estimate (920W), which would assume everyone charging at home. Clearly not everyone would charge at home (or with a 1kW charger), so the number is in between.

Both transmission and generation tend to cost mostly their peak usage. Generation is likely easier to upgrade, given a few years. I would imagine transmission is significantly more costly and complex, since the last mile network is enormous, but transmission likely has much more overhead (it has a soft instead of hard maximum as well due to simply increasing losses and increased thermal stress). I would say we probably are nearly prepared (with significant generation investments) if everyone charges at home at low power -- a 1-2 decade transition would go smoothly (my guess/estimate is 65% more average usage by that date). If most people opt for fast charging, the system will need significant overhaul (with widespread use of buffer batteries helping). It seems very wise for State incentives to increase capacity as soon as possible, to anticipate market demand -- the energy sector is likely slower than the automotive industry.
Depends.

I would think you can find plenty of devs willing to learn and use Blazor. But they will probably be from the old school, non tech companies that are used to working with things like ASP.NET, WinForms, WPF, etc.

So hence, in a way, it probably is considered "boring technology" in the same way C# or .NET. in general is considerd "boring technology.

Not that there's anything wrong with C# or .NET from a technical perspective. But .NET in general tends to be much more widely used in "boring non technology companies", and not so much outside that sphere. At least here in the US anyways - not sure where you are located.

I've worked with C# and .NET longer than any other tech stack in my career, but I specifically removed all mention of .NET in my resume because I'm actively trying to avoid such companies.

I definitely agree with the sentiment.

Note that there has been debate in the field about the term "user" for decades. Some people object because it is ambiguous, some because it reduces people to their interaction with your software, others due to the connotation with drug use.

Let's dispense with this fiction, once and for all, that "targeted" or "customized" advertisements were ever for the users' benefit. They are, and always have been, for the benefit of Google and the advertisers. Google wants you to believe that advertisements are an inevitable, unavoidable feature of the web, despite the fact that they didn't want to be in this business when they started the company. They even go so far as to tug at your heart strings to and say how "hard" they work to make sure their product is "safe, unobtrusive, and as relevant as possible," implying that capturing your attention to part you from your money effectively is the ideal outcome. [0]

This is gaslighting. Interest-based advertising on the web is not an immutable feature, a naturally occurring phenomenon. It's a scourge invented to further surveillance capitalism and it must be abolished.

All this is to say, I'd change your letter to say:
